Long Distance Calls - Socratic

Everyone is working hard

Mothers got a shit job

Daddy got a blow job

Divorce ain’t free

Lawyer gets a phone call

He’s back on the payroll

It’s time to figure out who gets the house and the keys

Mom and Dad get uptight

The kids see the whole fights

It’s all very childlike, their vulgar tones

Sister starts crying, brother starts whining

But please don’t forget we’re a family

Now it’s time for long distance calls

To say I love you I don’t know you at all

I don’t sympathize with dead beat dads

He sits alone we were all he had

It’s 20 year later

Brothers got a girlfriend

His wife is on the back end

Divorce ain’t fee

Sisters got a husband

But he don’t give her lovin'

It’s funny its a turnaround how life isn’t free

Got to pay the mortgage and get the kids thru college

And maybe if we’re lucky we can make ends meet

Sister starts crying, brother starts whining

But please don’t forget we’re a family
